URGENT! B BAND STUDENTS MUST RETURN THEIR LUNCH APPLICATIONS BY FRIDAY, 13 SEPTEMBER!

"Yes, I know what you are thinking? But I only received them on Thursday, and I was "misinformed" about the deadline for return."

The "incentive" offered still exists.

Weekly Vocabulary Quizzes

ATTENTION AP STUDENTS FOR THE 2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR

SAT VOCABULARY QUIZZES

Beginning with our second week of school, you will take a Vocabulary Quiz. For our first quiz (List 1), you will study all THIRTY words on this list-but you will be tested on only TEN of the words. (TEST FORMAT: MATCHING) However, for your second Vocabulary Quiz you will study ALL of the words for List 2-but you will only be tested on SEVEN of the words from that list AND THREE of the words from List 1. Let me clarify-for our THIRD Vocabulary Quiz-you will study ALL of the words for List 3-but you will only be tested on SEVEN of the words from that list and THREE of the words from List 2. We will follow this procedure throughout the year until you are tested on each of the lists which appear when you click on the link above: "SAT VOCABULARY QUIZZES."

I recommend that you make-up Flash-Cards for each list and store them in a shoebox for your review. Furthermore, you probably should download and print these lists and place them in your required three-ring binder for this class.

PLEASE NOTE: THE SAT VOCABULARY QUIZZES WILL HAVE A "WEIGHT" OF 12% FOR EACH MARKING PERIOD WHEN "JUPITER" CALCULATES YOUR GRADE.

One Look Dictionary will provide assistance with the pronunciation of the words-you will "hear" how a specific word is pronounced. (Click on "one look.")

AP Scores: What You Can Do...

For those students receiving a "2" or a "3"-if you think you may have erased any answers on the "bubble-sheet" and/or left stray marks-you may desire that the College Board "hand-score" your answer sheet for a fee of $25.

Unfortunately, your essays will NOT be re-scored, but you can request to have them sent to you-also for a fee.

Also, keep in mind that some of you informed me that you did not answer all of the multiple choice questions and that you "finished" early.

I realize that some of you are disappointed with your score so you may decide to do what I suggested.
